The (4-4) New York Jets have surpassed mainstream expectations this year, playing far better than the comical preseason projections. Nevertheless, any playoff push will likely hinge upon the results of week 9: a win leaves them sitting pretty going into the bye week, but a loss would necessitate an almost perfect second half to have a chance. For a rebuilding team, seeing growth in the young guys is probably equally important as a playoff push, but obviously both would be nice. Unfortunately, their week 9 opponent is probably their toughest matchup of the season—a Metlife Stadium showdown with the (6-1) New Orleans Saints. The Saints are an offensive powerhouse that would present difficulties for any secondary, but will be especially challenging for a Jets defense that has allowed a 92.7 passer rating to opposing quarterbacks (11th worst in the league).

Interesting. Hopefully Cam & Junior have an awesome game.

I would think a win against the Bungals last week would have meant a heck of a lot more than a win this week. I know they're rebuilding, but in the scheme of things they need mathematical conference wins more than morale boosters.

Yep, the only way we lose this game is if we give it to them with numerous unforced errors.

Ain't gonna happen this season, we win by 3 scores.

Here's another one:

"... The Saints [ defense is ] the seventh-stingiest in yards (332.4 allowed per game) and third-stingiest in points (17.1 allowed per game). Rex’s defense was horrible last week in a 49-9 loss at Cincinnati."

And, I SO hope Rex puts Milliner in the game!!

Geno smith makes bad decisions and errant throws, we need to take advantage of them on defense

He gets roughly two seconds to throw the ball, our D line should tear it up
